Raphaël Guerreiro (29) will probably not extend his expiring contract with Borussia Dortmund, Nico Schulz (29) is no longer wanted after the negative headlines off the pitch at the latest. In addition, should Mats Hummels (34) let his working paper at BVB expire, the Black and Yellows will have an inexperienced duo for the headquarters alongside Niklas Süle (27) and Nico Schlotterbeck (23) with Soumaïla Coulibaly (19) and Antonios Papadopoulos (23). to disposal.
In short: Borussia could definitely use one or the other new signing for the defensive. According to a report in the ‘Corriere dello Sport’, one candidate who has made his way onto the note for the Bundesliga club is Jakub Kiwior. The 22-year-old recently shone with Poland at the World Cup in Qatar. The left foot is also set for his club Spezia Calcio.
Kiwior’s big bonus: The defender, who was trained at RSC Anderlecht, can help out both as a left-back and as a midfielder – the youngster played in both positions for Spezia this season, although he only plays as a central defender in the national team.
Sticking point transfer
In Dortmund, the Pole could be considered as a backup or starting eleven candidate for several positions. Kiwior have enjoyed a rapid development in Italy and could trade the relegation battle with Spezia for the European Cup after the season. However, the transfer fee could be an obstacle. With Kiwior under contract until 2025, the Serie A club is reportedly calling for a transfer fee of 20 million euros.
Spezia’s hopes of making a huge profit with the former two-million purchase are quite justified. In addition to BVB, Atlético Madrid and AC Milan were recently named as candidates for Kiwior. In the current report, the ‘Corriere dello Sport’ also lists Juventus Turin, SSC Napoli, AS Roma and clubs from the Premier League as interested parties. So Dortmund would have to assert itself against prominent competition.
